Not good at all. I had a feeling something bad had happened today when I rode past the morgue and there was about 4 cars there, including a cop car. Been Sunday I thought that was not the norm and would read something bad later in the day. There is it I guess, although could be completely unrelated.

This week has been a little emotional - Dad was supposed to complete the Around the Bay ride in Melbourne (250km) this past Saturday. He was enjoying a recovery ride from his Around the Bay training when he was hit by the ute.

On a positive, my Mum has physically recovered completely from her injuries. She's a strong and determined woman.

I just read these posts for the first time and am not sure if anyone will even read this.. I know it's been a long time since but I felt like writing something to say how touched I am by all your messages about my Dad..

Im glad you found the site and I know from not only the Canberrans here, but all people on the site, we wish you and your family, but especially your mum all the best in this situation. Im glad your mum is recovering well, it sounds very positive.

My heart goes out to you. We fight among ourselves a lot here on this forum, but we all love cycling and cyclists. Cycling is an indulgent sport and I do worry what would be for my family if I were hit on the road. So you have my most heartfelt condolences.

Thank you for posting. It is always a sad thing to hear the passing of a person, especially a cyclist. MY heart goes out to you and your family. I am glad to hear your mum is recovering well. God bless.
